it’s my best friend’s birthday

last week, I had this dream about two buffy’s. twin buffy’s - and I was one of them. I wonder what the Academics would have to say about that. Something freudian, I’m sure….

it’s kinda sad….since Buffy aired its last show a few weeks ago (5/20/03)….nothing but re-runs…..

strongbad rocks

b sent this to me on icq…..i told him i had a web cam and he said he wanted to see me bust up laughing after i saw this set of animated absurdity……it was funny looking, with the sound off….since i’m at work, i didn’t want to disturb my co-workers.

so i went home and we turned on the volume……oh my gosh it’s funny! japanese cartoon is my favorite…so far

what’s fair?

is there any justice in the world? why does it hurt to do the right thing? whenever i can get back my life, when can i start smiling? why do i find out about things that hurt me? what am i doing wrong? my life feels so empty now, kinda like no matter what i do - i’m always going to be questioning and second guessing myself. i feel like scum.

bite me spammer

i don’t understand how telemarketers could claim “first ammendment” rights when comes to invading the privacy of other citizens. It doesn’t make any sense to me. Sure, we have plenty of freedoms in this country - but we also have the right to protect ourselves. And I’m going to trash every bit of spam that comes my way…..why should I give them my business? why would I support such an frighfully rude endeavor? I guess I’m shooting my mouth off, thanks to this Contra Costa article on spammers getting flammed. Well. Good for them - it doesn’t seem like they’re getting the message from millions of other people asking to be taken off their damn mailing lists.

dude, you need a dell

i found this pic on flaming burn’s blog……how did I stumble on this blog? well, someone at UC Berkeley had th bright idea to open up the mailing lists….and this blog address was among one of the many angry, insightful, funny, absurd responses back to all UC Berkeley students (past, present, and future).

she’s so tiny

i watched cspan this morning, after my power pilates - and caught the last remarks by Philippine President Gloria Arroyo…..my God - she’s tiny! Then again….Bush could be tooo big.

matrix hack

so….Trinity knew what she was doing, when she hacked the power source building and initiated a city-wide black out….

Mark pointed out this cool Slashdot posting - Trinity’s using a “Nmap to find a vulnerable SSH server, and then exploits it using the SSH1 CRC32 exploit from 2001.” Mark , a UNIX sys admin, said it was nice to see folks using a command lines, now a days. Of course, I gave him grief for not recognizing the hack, while we watched the movie….

smile

i heard this tune, first in Charlie Chaplin’s movie: Modern Times….it’s my favorite song ever.

it’s timeless….and when Nat King Cole sings it - it echoes everything that is beautiful and yet sad, at least for me

one more thing

about the MPA business - I guess I’m just ticked because I use lyrics as a way of expressing myself….kinda like singing to myself on the internet…karoke style…thankfully, you can’t hear my off-tune voice.

be grateful.
